"what do you do with your money? How do you like to spend it?" "I don't spend it. It's easier to get money and just sit on it and let it acrue." -Ariel Pink after defending trickle down economics.

[@Its.melvin]

Great catch lol

[@miaumiau679]

also, sitting on his own money is not even good financial advice. money depreciates over time lmao

[@nataliarodriguez7049]

LOL I DIDNT EVEN CATCH THAT

[@xdef1ne]

Can you explain please?

[@Its.melvin]

@@xdef1ne so first he defended trickle down economics. Basically that’s the idea that if we give tax cuts to rich people and big companies they’ll use that saved money to create more businesses and hire more people. Hence the money will “trickle” down. (Most economists these days don’t believe in this idea anymore but it was popular under president Reagan) Then when asked what Ariel does with his money he says he just lets it sit to accrue. We’re assuming he means in a savings account to accrue interest. So he’s not spending his money. Not letting it “trickle” down yet believes when we give tax cuts money will “trickle” down. Hope that explains.

I have to do that with my family. Like, “okay, you sound nuts but I don’t know how to tell you that politely so I’ll just say “Hm” and nod.”.

[@hybridslinky4829]

That's his genius showing. He doesn't have to TELL you the problems with what people are saying, he just has strategically ask questions that prompt them to SHOW you the problems. And it all relies on the listener to be a critical enough thinker to be able to come to a reasonable conclusion about the validity of what they just heard.

The last part about him saying Kamala & Biden are anti-authoritarian...while they're very authoritarian...but he likes Trump because he's anti establishmenttt....sounds like his brain is desperately trying to create folds that never formed in the womb.

[@exzisd]

I think what he was saying is America has been a country which lets someone start a company and grow and with the erosion of small businesses well it makes the growth a lot harder. I don't think he is pro/anti amazon google but was using it to illustrate how the economy incentivizes people to work harder. Like Jeff Bezos drove a crappy piece of junk car and had a cardboard Amazon sign in his office where he sold books for years before he became the richest dude. Empires rise and fall.

The decision for Mexican Summer to drop Ariel from the label initially felt questionable. After seeing this interview, I cannot defend Ariel; he's seriously gone off the deep end. I hope he gets help.

[@ArielHal9000]

After him going to DC to the riot, he needs help.

[@user-gn1ef8qd2i]

They were already considering dropping him prior surrounding allegations from an ex-girlfriend/bandmate. BUT before anyone replies her claims weren’t credible, that doesn’t have to do with why Mexican Summer was considering letting him go. He filed a restraining order against the woman afterwards and it was thrown out immediately by a judge because it was filed in bad-faith and was an abuse of the civil court system. In California, they slap by ordering the accusing party to pay for the other party’s legal fees. So, if for any reason he “can’t afford his lawyers” like he said (lied) to Tucker Carlson on Fox, it entirely had to do with events way prior to the Trump event in D.C. He also said (lied) to Carlson that he was called by his label and they assured him they wouldn’t drop him when he was first in D.C. and the public frenzy towards him started. Then, he says he got informed over text they were dropping him on the day of the capitol take-over. Like I said, he was already on thin ice with them after he responded to the abuse claims by trying to get an unfounded restraining order, so I highly doubt they said anything resembling support for him while he was in D.C. Also, he frequently went on controversial twitter rants before this, some centered around Trump and things he says here. Honestly, wtf did he expect from Mexican Summer? Wow, how unfair of them.
